29-3-4 will put out leaves like crazy. If you are growing for fruit, then you'd be better off with other fertilizers with a higher last number.
But if you just want to have fun with them, like say in Wisconsin, 29-3-4 will really make them pop.
Be sure and give them some each month, put out a circle about 8" away from the stalk at least. If it doesn't rain, water them well.
You can start quitting on your fertilizer in Sept and let them use up what they have left.
